A Different Place

Alicia Wortham 1974 (Georgia)

Free verse
You’ve taken my heart to different place
You uplift me in all my darkness
It is written across your face
Every time you look at me

I feel so marvelous and at peace
With the connection we have made
My heart has been only leased
And used by abusers

I was left with scars across my heart
You have made them feel like beauty marks
Replaced with gems of genuine care
And flowers of tenderness

About this poem
